Abstract

The present invention relates to a reinforcement system at a railway tunnel section passing through a karst cave with a large dip angle and a construction method. The reinforcement system of the present invention can solve the problems of downward mud filling, watertightness, etc. of a top through structures of an umbrella arch, a concrete layer, a flexible buffer layer and a protective layer at the top, at a karst cave, of a tunnel, solve the problem of upward mud inrush at a bottom through structures of an anchor cable, a ring beam and a foundation pad at the bottom of the tunnel, guarantee stability of an arch bridge by erecting “a triple arch bridge” in a middle and adding a vertical bearing wall under the arch bridge, and make a railway safely cross the mud-inrush karst cave by safely laying a ballastless track on the bridge.

       4. The reinforcement system at a railway tunnel section passing through a karst cave with a large dip angle according to  claim 3 , wherein the protective layer ( 1 - 4 ) is in a shape of a cone with a lower portion wider than an upper portion, and a cone top inclining to a side far away from the circuitous passage ( 2 - 3 ). 
     
     
       5. The reinforcement system at a railway tunnel section passing through a karst cave with a large dip angle according to  claim 1 , wherein the foundation pad ( 3 - 1 ) comprises a ring beam ( 3 - 11 ), an intermediate beam ( 3 - 12 ) and a pad layer ( 3 - 13 ), several anchor cables ( 3 - 14 ) penetrating into a wall of the karst cave are arranged at half of a height of the foundation pad ( 3 - 1 ), and the vertical bearing wall ( 4 - 4 ) is arranged on the intermediate beam ( 3 - 12 ). 
     
     
       6. A construction method of a reinforcement system at a railway tunnel section passing through a karst cave with a large dip angle, specifically comprising:
 (I) building a protection at a tunnel top 
 building an umbrella arch ( 1 - 1 ) at a top of a portion, of a main tunnel ( 1 ), passing through a karst cave, filling a top of the umbrella arch ( 1 - 1 ) with plain concrete to form a concrete layer ( 1 - 2 ), stacking a sandbag on the concrete layer ( 1 - 2 ) to serve as a flexible buffer layer ( 1 - 3 ), and pouring reinforced concrete at a top of the flexible buffer layer ( 1 - 3 ) to form a protective layer ( 1 - 4 ); 
 (II) building a foundation pit
